Notra offers two powerful automation modes to turn your development work into content: event-based and scheduled automation. Each mode serves different use cases and content strategies.

Automation Modes

Event-Based

Generate content automatically when specific events occur in your repositories

Scheduled

Create content on a regular schedule with customizable frequency

How It Works

Notra’s automation system monitors your development activity and generates content using AI-powered workflows:
1

Configure Triggers

Set up automation rules based on GitHub events or time schedules
2

Select Output Type

Choose what content to generate: changelogs, LinkedIn posts, blog posts, or updates
3

Automatic Generation

Notra analyzes your work and generates content matching your brand voice
4

Review & Publish

Review generated content and publish to your chosen destinations

Supported Output Types

Both automation modes support multiple content formats:
  • Changelogs: Customer-facing release notes and feature updates
  • LinkedIn Posts: Professional updates about your product progress
  • Blog Posts: In-depth articles about features and improvements
  • Investor Updates: Progress summaries for stakeholders
All content is generated using your configured brand voice, tone, and custom instructions to ensure consistency.

Choosing the Right Mode

Select your automation approach based on your content strategy:
Best for:
  • Immediate responses to releases or deployments
  • Real-time changelog generation
  • Announcing new features as they ship
  • Marketing moments around launches
Example scenarios:
  • Generate a LinkedIn post when you publish a GitHub release
  • Create a changelog when code is merged to production
  • Announce feature updates immediately after deployment

Trigger Management

Each automation can be:
  • Enabled/Disabled: Turn automations on or off without deleting configuration
  • Customized: Configure event types, schedules, and target repositories
  • Tested: Manually trigger any automation to test output before enabling
  • Monitored: View logs and history of all automation runs
You can combine both automation modes. For example, use event-based automation for immediate release announcements and scheduled automation for weekly progress summaries.
